Chapter 990: Behind the Soul

"How?"

There was a pause before he continued, "If there is a risk for humans to accept the devil's perception, then it is better to turn the devil into a human." ”

"What do you mean—to transfer souls?" Roland quickly thought of the key.

"You mentioned that there are demons in the dream world, which means that the heir of Fallen Star City has used abilities such as soul extraction on demons, which at least proves that they are also affected by soul instruments. Zoe explained, "After that, as long as the high-level devil is transferred to the body of the Divine Punishment Samurai, the perception risk can be borne by this guy." ”

"I see," he couldn't help but nod, using the Divine Punishment Warrior as a carrier would be tantamount to forcing the devil to adapt to humans, and the sensory feedback received by the Mind Connector was also familiar information. It's also easier to gain an advantage in a chaotic situation, which sounds like a good idea. "But you'll also lose a container that you can transfer. ”

After the collapse of the church, the bodies of the divine punishment warriors were basically one less than one.

"We would rather sleep in your dreams than in a cold cage of unconsciousness...... So there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"Ahem-" Roland almost choked on the tea, although he knew that the other party was a woman, but when he heard a rich male voice say these words faintly, the lethality was still too amazing.

"Just kidding," Zoe chuckled rarely, "and in fact we have several defects in our collection that could be used for this transfer." What's more, the price of a shell is nothing compared to the possible gains. ”

"Defects?" he asked, clearing his throat.

"The journey from Hermes to our original hideout was not an easy one, especially during the Demon Moon. Some of the Divine Punishment Warriors even crawled up to it - because their feet had been gnawed off by the beasts. Naturally, such a body could not be used as a warrior, and we originally intended to use it as a vessel for immortality for the nobles to enjoy. ”

Roland twitched the corners of his mouth secretly, can it really be enjoyed to live like this?

"But even if it's a defective product, it has the ability to resemble the Divine Punishment Stone, right?

"Rest assured, even it takes decades for us to master an unfamiliar body. Zoe replied, "And it takes longer to activate the Divine Punishment Realm, and many people will have to wait until the second transfer to use the ability." Even if the devil had an unimaginable talent for this, it was unlikely that he would have been able to do so during the interrogation. ”

Agatha added, "Take a step back and say that even if the resonance is interrupted, the pain caused is only temporary—something like Sylvie has personally verified during her investigations. ”

"By the way, have you discussed this with Lady Camilla?" Roland suddenly thought of a key question.

Having already talked about it, she was negative at first - after all, it was something that had never been tried before, and no witch acting as an interrogator could say that it was risk-free, but Zoe convinced her. ”

"Yes......" he suspected, not a man of good words.

"It's very simple, your majesty," continued Zoe, "but I told her that the one who connects her mind with the devil is none other than myself. ”

Roland couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"I am both transcendent and the first to be awakened...... Dealing with the devil in such a state is more certain than most. "Of course, the most important thing is that I am the proposer of this plan, and I should take all the risks." ”

This is probably the reason why the ancient witch thinks so highly of herself, but she can't be annoyed...... Roland thought to himself that when it came to dealing with the devil, they were indeed the ones who took the lead in shouting "follow me". That alone has overcome many.

"I see, let's do as you say. He was silent for a moment before replying, "Don't let go of your monitoring of high-level devils on the way back. ”

"Ah, I'll take good care of it, Your Majesty. Zoe laughed.

Perhaps compared to the final interrogation, the escort process is what she is looking forward to the most.

After the call, Roland fell into deep thought for a moment.

Do people and demons really have souls?

If not, how did these Tachira witches change their bodies at will, and how did the soul apparatus work?

If so, then why can't the soul exist separately from the body? After all, if the soul can be stripped and given at will, it is no different from immortality.

There is also the dream world...... How did such a realistic, but non-existent illusory space come to fruition? What will be at the end of the so-called pillar of light leading to the divine domain in the ancient books of the underground civilization?

Come to think of it, I'm afraid that it will only be possible to solve this puzzle after understanding the nature of the battle between magic and divine will.

Either way, he now had a chance to witness the transfer of his soul.

......

Compared with the worries when he set out, the time to return seems to be much faster.

Due to the growing maturity and growth of the town hall, there were now very few government affairs that Roland could personally attend, so he devoted most of his free time to a few key industrial projects.

The glider's test flight was still progressing steadily, and Tilly's flight manual went from being a few pages thin to a book as thick as Medium Chemistry. When adding a cover to it, Roland deliberately used gold as the title color.

The steel ship is also becoming more and more familiar in the hands of the thunder, although the power and handling system are not satisfactory at first, and there are many large and small failures, but after several improvements, it finally looks like a real sea ship.

In addition, the Wizard's Tower, built specifically for Agatha, was completed in the last month of autumn – the five-story concrete building became a new landmark of Neverwinter from the moment it was completed, with its strange shape and height beyond the Lord's Castle. There is no doubt that the Miracle Building will be the most striking sight in the city until it is completed.

In addition to these, the oil fractionation tower and the building built to assemble the new generation of power sources are also nearing completion. In the past, the closer to winter, the more silent the western realm became, as if the towns were hibernating along with the land, but since the establishment of Neverwinter, this phenomenon has gradually been reversed, and it has reached a new peak this year. From the North Slope mining area to the shoal harbour, you can see busy people and newly built houses everywhere, and the bustle and energy of the streets and alleys amazes all the merchants who come here.

A month and a half later, the First Army finally returned to its long-awaited starting point.

The people of Wudong spontaneously formed a group in the grasslands on the outskirts to welcome them, and their cheers almost resounded in the sky.

On the same day, snow fell in the sky.

The long winter ...... It's coming.
